Power sockets and electrical wiring must all be part of the same electrical system. Certain electrical conditions in your home, such as wiring condition and conguration, may aect the performance of this product. A minimum
of two D-Link PowerLine AV series products are required to create a network. Additional D-Link PowerLine AV series products are required to add new devices to the network. Connecting this product to a power strip with a
surge protector may adversely aect the performance of this product. For best results, plug the adapter directly into a wall socket.

Maximum throughput is based on theoretical transmission PHY rate. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of trac and network overhead, may lower actual data
throughput rate. Interference from devices that emit electrical noise, such as vacuum cleaners and hair dryers, may adversely aect the performance of this product. This product may interfere with devices such as lighting
systems that have a dimmer switch or a touch-sensitive on/o feature, short wave radios, or other PowerLine devices that do not follow the HomePlug AV standard.
